HOWTO get Drivel working with Blogger/Blogspot

I was tearing my hair out trying to find the answer to this one because I want/need to use Drivel for posting unless I want to logout of my Google apps account. I couldn't get it going until I found this on the Drivel mailing list (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/drivel-list/2010-July/msg00002.html):
===================
blogger.com does not work as Blogger 2.0, only as blogger 1.0. I've just tested this: http://drivel-dev.blogspot.com/2010/07/another-test-for-blogger-10.html Change to Blogger 1.0, drivel will then select: http://www.blogger.com/api/RPC2 for the server address.
===================
Major kudos to Neil Williams.

    1. sadly, you are correct. Trying to go to http://www.blogger.com/api/RPC2 using FF gives me a 404. It looks like Google has killed off the workaround.
